In a bizarre election-night turn, Stan Morse won the Democratic primary for the state House District 40 even though he endorsed his opponent and spent Tuesday campaigning for him.

A recruiter and consultant to the printing industry, he took 54 percent of the vote to Sam Hart Brewer's 46 percent. On Monday, Morse submitted a concession speech and stood outside a Raleigh polling place Tuesday encouraging voters to pick Brewer.
